When my son and his wife were moving into their first home I knew that their budget was a little strained. When the budget is strained your grocery budget is not exactly buying lobster. You might be eating more ramen noodles then anything! Well I found this awesome recipe book that was designed for people on a budget! I took a look at it myself before I gave it to them and found some fantastic recipes.
I decided to make one of the recipes and have them over for dinner. I wanted to give them the book and tell them that they were eating a recipe straight from the book! I wanted them to feel like eating cheap does not mean that you are not going to be able to make some seriously delicious food! So, I looked through the book and I did find a wonderful soup!
It’s called the Poor Man’s Soup. The ingredients are so simple and yes very cheap to make. It also makes a ton of food too so that you can freeze some for quick and easy meals on the go. I made this soup for the both of them and presented the book to them. They absolutely loved the book and were very appreciative. They made a ton of things out of this book and still use it to this day! This soup is so yummy that you’ll want to make it no matter what your food budget is.
